Char Siu Chicken Little

5 lb roster chicken, Char Siu mix and a cup and a half of water. (and a few glugs of EVOO)

40 minute spin..



On to the MAK. 30 minutes of smoke, 45 minutes of 425°, then back down to 325° until 165 in the breast.



Time to yank it off of there.



Pretty..



It was too late to do anything with it, so I bagged it up and tossed it in the fridge. We'll break it out later for dinner.

I did tear a wing off for a taster.. PDG.

Ok, it's late and ugly, but here goes..

Sliced open.



Pulled.



Sammy with some leftover fixins from a fancy BLT MrsSTC had for dinner.



Not bad!

Now that is an interesting cook! Those wings look like they would be great for nibbling on.

That is interesting! Guess I'm going to have to go google Char Siu!

Normally it is used on pork and ribs at your local Take Out Chinese place..

I had a chicken in the fridge and figured 'why not'.

Next time I might put some Cure #1 in the brine as well, and get pink chicken that tastes like ham..

Yum Squirt... I love char siu pork! I bet your chicken was wonderful! It looks killer from here!

Right on Squirt. I've never tried Char Siu before; another one to add to my list!

Nice! That looks great!

That looks excellent!

Heck yeah looks good!

So you can get a whole bird in that drum thingy huh?
I may need to look into one of those.

Yep! They list 5 pounds as the max load.

You'll have to note the foil pan it is sitting in.. This was a garage sale special, so I don't trust it 100% just yet - at least not indoors.

Real nice. I also love my reveo. I got one at gander mountain with free shipping and 30 bucks off. It ended up being around 134 bucks. I used it tonight for spatchcocked yard bird.
